A Straight Talking Introduction to Children's Mental Health Problems (second edition) Paperback / softback
by Sami Timimi
Part of the The Straight Talking Introductions series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Rates of diagnosis of psychiatric disorders in children, such as depression, ADHD and autistic spectrum disorders, have shot up in recent years.
So too has the prescription of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs and stimulants.
Yet the diagnoses are based on weak science, questionable research and powerful financial incentives.
In this updated edition of his powerful critique, consultant child psychiatrist Sami Timimi questions why Western societies routinely seek to manage children's behaviour with dangerous medication.
He offers a humane and child-centred alternative that is about understanding our children's distress, not medicating it, and practical advice that all parents, carers and teachers will find helpful.
